A System Formerly Known as Capitalism

My apologies for being MIA on our real-time Buzz & Banter yesterday after posting my 1:10 p.m. EDT column. 

I've been battling a head cold for the last two days (coughing, sneezing, wheezing â?? in the summer, no less!) and on the advice of my wife, I laid down for a bit. When I awoke at 4:30 p.m. ET, Maria Bartiromo and the rest of the gang were in a great mood; I knew what that meant.
